Two photos of Baden-Powell and Queen
Wilhelmina of the Netherlands at the Fifth World Jamboree at Vogelenzang in 1937. B-P and the Queen talk on the reviewing stand and B-P takes the
salute from Scouts passing in review.

The ribbon to the left of this page
displays the colors of the Bronze Wolf, the highest recognition of the
World Scout Movement. B-P received the first Bronze Wolf in 1935. He wears the Wolf,
suspended from its green and white ribbon, in the portrait by Benjamin Eggelston at the
head of this page.
